Hi, I would appreciate any advice on the following matter: Scenario: Driving along with another car directly in front of me (app. 10 seconds ahead, aka 2 chevrons). Stationary officer (1 cop) steps out from dirt road connecting east and westbound lanes and "waves" to have a car pull over. The driver in front of me thought he was the one being gestured at so he made way to stop but was waved off by the officer as he made gestures and instead pointed at me to pull over which I did. Upon being pulled over I was asked for my driver's license which I provided. The officer then commented that I had my cell phone lying on my lap and that it was illegal to use a handheld device while driving (I was not using it at all to text or talk prior to being pulled over) . The officer then returned to his cruiser. After 15 mins he returned with two tickets, 1 for the cell phone, 1 for speeding. I refuse to believe I was going 131km/h but here I am... Any tips on how to deal with this ticket and he cell phone ticket? Especially since there was a vehicle in front of mine and THAT driver acted as if he was being pulled over before (lucky for him) being waved away. thanks!!

I have a pretty general question, I am just wondering, If a Police Officer is doing radar (or laser.. whatever) on an unlit area of a highway and is out of his vehicle do this, with his vehicle faced into traffic (but on the center median emergency turn around). If there is multiple cars on the…
Hi there, this incident occurred on the night of July 1st, so my deadline on this ticket is July 16th. I plan on going to the court office on Monday so I figured I'd see what the experts think about my case. As a result, I apologize for the long post, but I don't want to leave out any details.
I have several problems and I'm wondering what my options are. This past weekend I was driving home from Lake Huron and was caught going 112 in an 80km/h zone. I am currently on my Quebec probationary license which is revoked at 4 demerit points. The penalty in Quebec for going +32 km/h over is 3…
